3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EU Main Hazards
Highly flammable.
Irritating to eyes.
Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness
Routes of Entry
- Absorption - Eye contact - Ingestion - Inhalation - Skin contact
Carcinogenic Status
Not considered carcinogenic by NTP, IARC, and OSHA.
Target Organs
- Central Nervous System - Skin - Eye - Liver 鈥? Respiratory System
Health Effects - Eyes
Liquid, mist or vapor will cause conjunctival irritation and possibly corneal damage.
Health Effects - Skin
Repeated or prolonged contact may produce defatting of the skin leading to irritation and dermatitis.
Liquid may be absorbed through the skin but not in toxicologically significant amounts, unless the area
of contact is large and exposure prolonged.
Health Effects - Ingestion
Swallowing may have the following effects:
- irritation of mouth, throat and digestive tract - central nervous system depression
A large dose may have the following effects:
- dizziness - drowsiness - headache - mental confusion - nerve damage leading to numbness and
muscle weakness - fall of blood pressure - liver damage - lung damage

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Health Effects - Inhalation
Exposure to vapor may have the following effects:
- irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract - central nervous system depression
Exposure to vapor at high concentrations may have the following effects:
- dizziness - drowsiness - headache - mental confusion - lung damage - fall of blood pressure -
liver damage - nerve damage leading to numbness and muscle weakness
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain
medical attention if soreness or redness persists.
Skin
Immediately flood the skin with large quantities of water, preferably under a shower. Remove
contaminated clothing and continue washing . Contaminated clothing should be washed or dry-
cleaned before re-use. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. If there is
difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Advice to Physicians
Monitor for systemic secondary effects on liver and kidney; support and treat.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Be aware of the possibility of re-ignition. Keep containers
and surroundings cool with water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Vapors can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Flashback can occur
if air temperature exceeds flash point. Be aware of possibility of re-ignition.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for
recovery or disposal. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Vapors
can accumulate in low areas. Consider need for evacuation. Prevent the material from entering
drains or watercourses. Notify authorities if spill has entered watercourse or sewer or has
contaminated soil or vegetation.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use in well ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhaling vapor. Avoid contact with

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
CURITY Wound Wipe
eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store away from sources of
heat or ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - away from incompatible
materials
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Standards
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
Isopropyl alcohol
UK EH40: OES 400ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA.
UK EH40: OES 500ppm (1225mg/m3) 15min TWA.
ACGIH: TLV 200ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA.
ACGIH: STEL 400ppm (1225mg/m3) 15min TWA.
OSHA: PEL 400ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA.
Can be absorbed through skin.
Engineering Control Measures
Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate to control airborne levels.
Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection if there is a risk of exposure to high vapor concentrations. The specific
respirator selected must be based on the airborne concentration found in the workplace and must not
exceed the working limits of the respirator.
Hand Protection
Chemical resistant gloves. For isopropyl alcohol, gloves made of polyvinyl alcohol do not provide
adequate protection.
Eye Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields
Body Protection
If there is danger of splashing, wear: - overall or apron

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity
Low order of acute toxicity predicted.
Isopropyl Alcohol: Dermal LD50 (rabbit) 12800mg/kg. Inhalation LCLO (rat) 1600ppm 4h
Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity
This product is not expected to cause long term adverse health effects.
(Isopropyl Alcohol) IARC assessment: this product is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans (Group 3). Chronic/Subchronic studies resulted in adverse effects to: - liver - spleen -
biochemical effects - brain tissue degeneration - changes in reflex behavior - sensory nerve damage
Genotoxicity
This product is not expected to cause any mutagenic effects.
Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity
This product is not expected to cause reproductive or developmental health effects.
(Isopropyl Alcohol) Experimental studies in animals have provided some evidence of embryo/fetoxicity
and birth defects only at doses producing marked maternal toxicity.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
If released to soil, isopropyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility.
Persistence/Degradability
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
Isopropyl alcohol is readily degraded in aerobic aqueous systems.
Bio-accumulation
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
